‘Truly enchanting’ Trudi Canavan

A mage bereft of her powers must find out if she is destined to save the world, or destroy it, in this glittering fantasy debut perfect for fans of James Islington, Samantha Shannon and Trudi Canavan.

In the glass city of Amoria, magic is everything. And Naila, student at the city’s academy, is running out of time to prove she can control hers. If she fails, she’ll be forced into exile . . . or consumed by her own power.

When a tragic incident threatens her place at the Academy, Naila is saved by Haelius Akana, the most powerful living mage. Haelius risks his reputation to help her to harness her abilities, but he has many enemies who desire him – and Naila – to fail. Trapped in the deadly schemes of Amoria’s elite, Naila must discover the truth of her powers, or watch Amoria descend into civil war.

For there is danger brewing on the wind, and greater forces at work across the wider world. Forces who could use her powers for good . . . or destroy everything she’s ever known.

Annabel Campbell has created a rich fantasy, textured with complex politics and mysteries upon mysteries. The Outcast Mage opens a door into a world that has enough depth to make it feel like a real place, and I want to get to the bottom of it all
